You quoted a standard that a math phd in 1999 said specifically that some texts at that time supported.
This is 2011 and present texts and science manuals support the implied mathematical standard. You googled an outdated standard that a phd supported over a decade ago.
And your assertion is incorrect. You cannot drop parenthesis willy nilly in an equation because they were put there for a reason. The implied multiplication standard states specifically that the reason why the numerical value on the outside of the parenthesis is put next to the valued equation in parenthesis is that the outcome of that equation is exactly what needs to be multiplied by the numerical value on the outside of the parenthesis to produce the correct result.
This is a simple explanation that has been complicated by those who choose to ignore what the implied multiplication standard clearly represents.

Lol what implied multiplication standard?
You think that math has changed since 1999 so that there are questions with different answers now? You obviously know NOTHING about math. I quoted a math phd, you quoted...nobody?
You can drop brackets when the brackets do nothing as in this case.
When someone can find someone with more legitimacy than a math phd (a doctor of math) that can tell me that the answer is 2 then I might listen otherwise I will stick to my amazing knowledge of math as verified by the phd I quoted.
Cam-girls:
If the question is 48/2(9+3) or 48/2*(9+3) the answer is the same. Adding brackets doesn't change a thing since the brackets don't surround any operation. Furthermore, when you say implied multiplication you do know that there is only one multiplication symbol and it is implied by the 2 being right beside the (9+3). So the question can be rewritten as 48/2*(9+3) because you aren't changing the question, just adding a symbol to clear things up. The brackets don't change the number and they don't change the answer. You're simply WRONG.
Again at eroticsexxx thinking that the answer to math questions changes throughout the years.
So you mean to tell me that all the proofs and mathematical solutions prior to 1999 are all wrong now?
Man some of you know NOTHING about math. Just people pretending to know and making things up.
